He's the age of a HS senior.

I think he should withdraw his name and enter in two years. His size and finishing ability he could be a steal.
 
Yi was a better prospect at the same age than Qi.

Yi had a great combo of size and athleticism but didn't have the NBA talent.

I see the exact same thing with Qi. He's a clone of Martynas Andriuskevicius.

Georgio is now 275 lbs. - keep in mind that he's only 18:

"Papagiannis has already shown himself to be capable of competing in one of the tougher European leagues. Even in limited minutes, he has been able to impact the game with shot blocking and rebounding. In fact, his per 36 shot blocking numbers, 2.4 BLK per 36, is better than all but four teams’ per game average in the Greek league."

He should have accepted the Kansas offer. He'd go a lot higher in a year or two.

International Bugs like this dude always have a chance at becoming something big ala Marc Gasol, Rudy Gobert, etc.

If we drafted him, the Blazers could switch their promo from Papa Murphys to Papa Johns. They could give out pizza discounts if Papagiannis plays over 4:25 minutes in the game.
 


15/16 highlights - featuring the worst highlight music in the history of ever.

Size wise he's a lot like Roy Hibbert.

Good rim proctor he finish around the basket can shoot 15-18 feet out. Looks like he need to get stronger upper body. Didn't show his passing ability. The bigs right now that might go late 1st or 2nd round I would be interested is this guy and Maker and Hammonds all 7 footer with good wing span.
 
Even though he is only 18, he already has a better low-post game than Meyers because, well, he has a low-post game

I get the joke, but, it all seriousness, Meyers had the foundation of a decent low-post game when he was 18, 19. He had some shake, he battled for position, he used a jump hook, a fadeaway hook and a turnaround jumper down low playing in one of the more physical college leagues. The NBA is a different animal. How he was coached might have dictated the player he's become, too.

I was watching some video of Meyers at Illinois to see if I was remembering him accurately. You can see why he was a lottery pick ... really good hands, sometimes a great passer from the post. The thing that stood out for me was his shot blocking.

But he needs to play like that up here sometimes he play timid up here. You see he got the game but now it seems like the Stotts been playing him wrong.

Not liking Hammons unless he falls deep into the 40s or 50s. He'll turn 24 before the season starts. Rarely played anyone of his size/strength. Remember Jason Jennings at Arkansas State?

I agree he has shown us enough "flashes" to warrant keeping him at a reasonable salary. He does have offense skills and he is athletic enough to be a better defensive player than he has been. Maybe he will never have excellent defensive instincts when it comes to shot blocking, but I think he can develop better ones.

The key is not to over pay for him. Pay him to be a role player. If he is smart he will take it, because his life will be a living hell..... no matter what team he plays for.....if he gets paid the big bucks and does not live up to their expectations.

...and then he can go and have a good cry in his palace made of gold bricks.

Remember Dame and CJ was both about that age and Neil draft them. Is as good as them no but maturity level is what Neil will look for this year. Having great upside doesn't mean you ever going reach that level.

Regardless of age Hammons' ceiling is low.

Late career Nazr Muhammad.
 
The fun 'Ha Seung-Jin sideshow' class:



Ndiaye kept his name in the draft. He has no chance in this era.

Tacko Fall didn't crack the top 150 HS recruits and was toying around with him.
 
Tacko Fall is a freak:

7'5" w/o shoes
8'0" wingspan

They both move about as well as Hibbert, the Lakers version, but are too slow footed.

If this were the 90s they'd be prospects.
 
I have a sneaking suspicion that whomever is running NBAdraft.net has no idea what they're doing. It's almost like HCP is in control of their mocks. *shots fired*

Diallo all the way to the lotto?

Ulis to the mid-second, just one pick ahead of Felder?

Zizic drops below Maker?

Golly.
